"We would support Silvi Kirilov if ITN asked for our support. There is no way to give support without being asked for it, but we would support their candidate if in a runoff the choice was between him and a GERB or DPS candidate. This is a matter of talks, let's first see what is the result of the meeting of the ITN with the BSP". This was stated by Tsoncho Ganev from “Vazrazhdane” after a meeting with Finance Minister Lyudmila Petkova.
"The Bulgarian taxpayer should not become a hostage of the delusional Eurozone. We had a working meeting at the invitation of the ministry, and the main thing we discussed was their view on limiting the deficit in order to be in line with the criteria for entering the eurozone," Ganev explained.
He defined the measures proposed by the MoF as "restrictive and serious". "Revenues will grow annually by 5 billion and expenditures will grow by 18 billion by 2025 at a 0% deficit. At 3% - they will grow by 12 billion. "We agree with some of the measures, because they are nationally responsible and must happen, but we are against others," he added.
